In the present study, an attempt was made to elucidate the genetic parameters for body
weight traits of lambs from Corriedale sheep population at different ages. Data were …

In this study, six different animal models were fitted, and the constrained maximum likelihood
method was used to assess the genetic parameters and genetic trends of early growth traits …

The present study was carried out to estimate the genetic parameters for direct and maternal
influences on Mecheri sheep (Ovis aries) growth traits using Bayesian multi-trait animal …

Growth, being a repeatable trait, is found to be more suitable for random regression models
(RRM). Especially in a field performance recording system the nature of data is …

The variability in growth traits provides enormous scope for improvement through selection
and breeding. However, growth is a longitudinal trait measured repeatedly on the animal …

Methods Experiments were performed at the Experimental Station of Beijing Academy of
Agriculture and Forestry Sciences in the Yangyuan county, Zhangjiakou city, Heibei …
